Sounds like you want to set up a remote logging server. The OpenBSD man page is surprisingly incomplete in this area so I'm redirecting you over to the FreeBSD site. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=syslog.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.4-RELEASE&format=html Look for the '+' and '@' signs. But you could have googled yourself.
